For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated with the world around me, especially when animals are part of the scene! As a child, I never accepted explanations on good faith alone, constantly inquiring more and more; the mark of a someday-scientist! I have been quite fortunate thus far in life in having the courage to chase down amazing opportunities. I have twice traveled to the Middle East to perform duties of zoo-archaeology in rural areas of Syria and am about to embark on my fifth science-teaching adventure in the Arctic. I'm a recent graduate in Zoology from San Diego State University and I'm beginning a Master's Program in Evolutionary Biology in January 2003 to study terrestrial arthropods. I've come to accept the current condition of our planet but will not sit idly by as the wealth of the world's species dwindles away. I'm dedicated to the conservation and protection of Earth's remaining flora and fauna and hope to one day pursue a PhD and active career in the field of Conservation Biology.
